OPI Color Paints

Hello ladies!

Today I made a skittlette inspired by Anne Kristina Hartvig using the new OPI Color Paints.

For the manicure I started off with a silver base of OPI Silver Canvas on all my nails. Afterwards I applied the silver holographic glitter to my pinky. Then I applied OPI Turquoise Asthetic, OPI Pen & Pink, and OPI Primarily Yellow layered a little over each other to my middle finger, ring finger, and pinky.

I really like this OPI collection!

Fancy Friday: Sand

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for another Fancy Friday manicure!
This week's challenge is sand and/or water. I chose sand and made this liquid sand manicure inspired by Nail That Design.

For the manicure I started off with a mint base of Essie Blossom Dandy on all my nails. When that was completely dry I used striping that a the silver liquid sand polish OPI It's Frosty Outside to make triangles going down the nails from the cuticle-area.

I actually made a water-inspired manicure before this one but is was the biggest nail fail ever!

Glitter Placement

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple glitter placement nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on all my nails. Afterwards I applied blue and silver diamond-shaped glitter onto my middle finger, ring finger and pinky with a wax pen.

The glitter I used for this manicure is from Born Pretty Store. It comes in a pack (#20428) with diamond-shaped glitters in 12 different colors.
I like this glitter set as it is really cheap ($5.86 for A LOT of glitter), it can be used in many different designs and because it is a great kit for nail art beginners who love a little bling.

Wedding

Hi girls!

Last Saturday I went to my cousin's wedding and today I would like to show you guys what I wore on my nails for the wedding.
I made a manicure that matched the dress I wore perfectly.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow. Afterwards I used the dry brush technique and the following polishes: Essie Licorice (black), Essie Chinchilly (taupe/grey) and China Glaze Lemon Fizz (yellow).

I think my nails and my dress matched perfectly!

Fancy Friday: Paradise

Hello ladies!

Today I have a Fancy Friday manicure to share with you guys!
The challenge this week is paradise and I made this sunset skittlette inspired by Nailstorming, as I image paradise as me lying on a beach while the sun is going down with the people I love around me.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails followed by a sunset-inspired gradient of L'Oréal Exotic Canaries, Essie Van D'Go and Essie Peach Side Babe. Afterwards I freehanded the palm trees on my middle and ring finger with a small nail art brush and black acrylic paint. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

I really love how this manicure turned out!

Pretty Edgy

Hey guys!

Today I have an edgy skittlette to show you!
The nail art on my ring finger and pinky is inspired by @sloteazzy!

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on my middle finger, pointer, and thumb and a sheer black base of a mix between Essie Good to Go! and Essie Licorice on my ring finger and pinky. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush, a dotting tool and black acrylic paint to freehand the nail art on my ring finger and pinky. To finish off the skittlette I applied the silver chain to my middle finger.

The chain I used for this nail art is from Born Pretty Store. It comes in a pack (#5363 in the color Silver 1.3mm) with over 1 meter of chain.
I already have a lot of other ideas for nail art featuring the chain, so I am really happy I got this. Besides they are really edgy, easy to use and cheap (only $2.29!).
